Present Continuous 1 - Affirmative - Quiz

Questions and Answers

1.

You ________ TV now. (watch)

Explanation
The correct answer is "are watching,'re watching" because the sentence is in the present tense and the verb "watch" should be conjugated to match the subject "you." In the present continuous tense, "are watching" is used for the plural subject "you," and "'re watching" is the contraction form of "are watching."

The correct answer is "is walking,'s walking." This is because the question is asking about what Sarah is doing at the present moment, indicating a continuous action.

Therefore, the correct answer includes the verb "is walking" and the contraction "'s" which stands for "is."
